I'm thinking 4 man squad to start (depends on funds)
Firts playthrough:
1) I.M.P. - maybe leadership-focused, low on mechanic, explosives and medical.
2) Igor - I found him to be such a great (cheap) addition to the team, he's probably going to earn a place in the startup line.
Then probably some characters that weren't in JA2.
3) Livewire looks like a nice option for a dedicted mechanic
4) Buns maybe to fill the role of a sniper.
Nice job.
It adds optimism that this game is (finally) going to be the game we have been waiting for. 2 months before the release and starting teams are already being created.
I'm not really sure about that.
Personally I very much prefered realistic to sci-fi. Even when I played on sci-fi, I never used rocket rifles, the only thing I used was Royal Jelly. Anything else - meh...
Maybe only a local engagement like to prevent a disease outburst?
These are ideas for DLCs and such though... So late before the release - no way anything so dramatic is going to change.
After many, MANY years of dissapointments, and almost giving up on playing a worthy sucessor, after checking out latest gameplay videos, I'm like Oliver after Deidranna was eliminated:
It's really true!?
